Wind River Professional Services

System designers face a number of challenges as they move from the relatively simple world of connected embedded devices into machine-to-machine (M2M) systems that need to ensure security and a predictable quality of service across more complex communication configurations. These challenges include the following:

• Connectivity
  • Network access, routing, and bridging
  • Breadth of wired and wireless standards/modes
• Manageability
  • Remote access and provisioning
• Security
  • High resistance to exploitation and penetration
  • Policy management and compliance
  • Virtualization and complex software implementation
  • Operation of real-time and non-real-time processes on the same device
• Flexibility
  • Scaling the platform for new features over time
